So anyone who’s been watching will have noticed that I sold off all my chips, ideas and blogs, then donated the cash away to various places. This is not a cause for concern but I’m happy that so many already contacted me to find out what’s going on.
This post is by way of explanation. I have created a new corporation called “Just For The Hell Of It” where myself and any players in the game who want to, can do pretty much any legal play, just for the hell of it. I figure if I get rid of all my holdings then I am pretty much free from repercussions of this. So when I decide to index an entire industry, I can do so without fear of the person working it hitting something of ‘mine’. etc.
I’m quite excited about this new venture. I intend to use my game play time to throw a few curve balls. I might decide to use 900 artefacts to buzz/slump the available index, or raid everything available, or sit in someone’s folder killing deads, or HTO twitter for a day. etc.
I’m talking about actions with no ‘worth’ other than my own amusement. These might put money into the BS economy or they might take money out of it. It’s quite random and that’s what I’m hoping for. Rantz already made a cool mission in the corp to reindex 115 incomings on a blog for a chips reward. This is the kinda thing I’m talking about.
Each player in the corp is free to come up with a ‘target’ event and I’m happy to join in with it. I’m not playing to earn anymore, I’m playing for another target entirely, which makes for a whole new game within the boundaries of the game.
I also want to make this blog the ultimate resource for the Blogshares player with easy to follow tutorials, helpful hints, little-known techniques to aid game-play and other little snippets of information. This will mean a bit of a redesign of the blog, but hopefully it’ll all come together for the good of the players.
So that’s my new game-plan. Stop playing for money, start playing for randomness and the good of the community.
